About this event
The various style periods that embody the eighteenth century can be identified by the colour, texture and design of textiles within the interior. From tapestries to carpets and chairs to beds, their use is fundamental to the appearance and purpose of fashionable spaces. This talk aims to give a chronological survey of the range of textile furnishings that typify these different phases and can act as essential props in our understanding of the furnished room from 1700-1800.
